Birding on Texel in Late October

10,000 Birds

The Dutch Island of Texel is well-known amongst European birders due to the exciting number and quality of birds it attracts during spring and autumn migration times. Although not as exciting as Helgoland, which I covered here recently , Texel is an excellent location in its own right. I spent three full days on Texel in late October, which was just about enough to cover this surprisingly large island.

Guyana: Popular, not Populous

10,000 Birds

Our first full day in the Land of Many Waters predictably began with a trip on one of these many waters. After leaving our hotel in the dark, we arrived at the small dock about half hour after sunrise – making one of many salient points about birding in Guyana: the country is vast! Nevertheless, the light was still gentle and golden. Farmhouses dotted the landscape, but our attention was directed to the water.

Tern lovers rejoice! A new book about the angelic-looking, identification-stumping birds of the oceans, rivers, and marshes has finally been published! And it’s fantastic.

Birding Shanghai in November 2023 (contractual obligation post)

10,000 Birds

This November, I went birding in Shanghai exactly once – the result of both some unpleasant changes in the accessibility of some good birding sites and some traveling that took me away from Shanghai for half of the month. Still, I saw a few thrushes – among them one of my favorites, the Japanese Thrush. The explanation for the scientific name of cardis provided in the HBW sounds a bit spurious to me but is presumably correct: “perhaps from the resemblance of the black markings

Musings on a Life List

10,000 Birds

Would you know a Firewood Gatherer if it landed in front of your binoculars? Or, come to that, a Greater Thornbird or a Buff-bellied Flowerpecker? To be honest, I wouldn’t be too confident of identifying any of this trio, either, though all three feature on my world lifelist. In contrast, I well remember all three of my encounters with Shoebills. (My Shoebill photographs, incidentally, were digiscoped from a small boat, so they’re not as sharp as they could be, but they are great reminders
